Kairos. A meditation to modern music.
To the end of the first day of the new year, Kairos dispels the banging corks, the banging fireworks, and if necessary, the banging headache by a journey along dark ambient via I Am Oak to traditional Japan and seventeenth century France – but then on the electric guitar of Hans Kockelmans). Lovers of the series ‘Top of the Lake’ will probably recognise a traditional Ests song, which will be heard in an arrangement with Veljo Tormis. And, most extraordinary, a song of the current eco-intention master Hans Andeweg, from the time when he was still touring across the country as a troubadour.
Kairos wishes you a balanced 2015.
